What does the Bible say about whether Christ died for everyone?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that Christ did not die for everyone, but specifically for those who are God's elect, as indicated in 2 Corinthians 5:14-15.
In 2 Corinthians 5:14-15, it states that Christ died for all who are spiritually dead so that they may live for Him. This underscores a specific redemption meant for a chosen people rather than for all humanity. Throughout Scripture, Christ is depicted as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep (John 10:11), indicating a particular group He came to save. The implications of His death are that it is efficacious for those whom the Father has given Him, ensuring their salvation (Romans 8:29-30).
